Claiming Temp/Delta Rec. Items 4 Gem'Hadar Character?

Does anyone know if the Req. Level 65 + 20hrs of game play is just being in-game use (Meaning can I have STO open idle while doing other things) or actually doing missions, etc? Just curious and I know its a lazy way of thinking. Thanks.

    It'll automatically log you off after an hour of inactivity, so just leaving it open won't work. If you alt-tab out and come back now and then to poke at DOffing and Admiralty, that would work, however.

    The 20h requirement is meant to prevent players from easily manufacturing free dilithium by deleting and rerolling characters.

    If methods of circumventing this requirement are developed, harder requirements will be put in it's place.

    Hopefully people DON'T figure out weaselly bot tricks that make it worse for actual players. 20 hours means you already need to wait several days (if you work) before starting all the reputations that aren't pre-filled.

    well, you get a lot of marks as a recruit for completing things(i think i put them all into dyson and gt about 7-800....) but yes, unless you play multiple red alerts a day(65 marks for winning) you might have issues doing the reps before the 20 hours is up...

    If they had increased the level cap more (and not borked the XP curve to the point where a few Admiralty assignments gets you to 65), they could've used the same "gain 20 levels" non-jemmies have (so to lvl80). That would also have ensured people actually play the game and not leave it running idle.

    The XP wasn't borked. There was a double XP event goin on at the same time VIL was released.

    There could be a 20x XP event going and it would still be way too fast.
